Nicely poetic, but a lot of fallacies there. Almost all of the services described can be done better and more efficiently by the private sector, and originally were. The ONLY ones which are the true pervue of the government is law enforcement and national defense. Roads, Schools, fire department, etc... can, and has been, done better by private industry, not government.
